Player News
Red Sox signed RHP Ronaldo Hernández to a minor league contract.
The Red Sox were looking to bolster their organizational catching depth after dealing Blake Sabol to the White Sox, so they picked up Hernández. The 27-year-old backstop has appeared in 25 games at the Triple-A level this season, slashing .221/.287/.351 with a pair of homers, 13 RBI and a 19/8 K/BB ratio over 88 plate appearances. He’ll add depth in the upper minors for the Red Sox.
Rays’ manager Kevin Cash told reporters on Friday that Brandon Lowe (oblique) is feeling much improved and could potentially return from the injured list on Friday.
Lowe will go through a full workout on Thursday, after which he’ll be re-evaluated before the team makes a final determination on his availability for Friday. The 31-year-old slugger has been shelved since July 6 due to a left oblique strain.
Corbin Martin has elected free agency.
The 29-year-old right-hander passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment by the Orioles, but rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk, he has decided to see what’s out there on the open market. Martin has recorded a pair of strikeouts over 1 1/3 scoreless innings at the major league level this season.
Sean Manaea will start on Friday against the Reds.
Manaea made his season debut as a follower behind Clay Holmes on Sunday, but now he will slide into his normal spot in the rotation. Clay Holmes will follow Manaea as a traditional starter on Saturday, and then David Peterson will pitch on Sunday. That means Kodai Senga will likely start on Monday against the Angels with Frankie Montas following on Tuesday.
Andre Pallante will start on Friday against the Diamondbacks.
The Cardinals will then follow with Sonny Gray on Saturday and Miles Mikolas on Sunday, which means Erick Fedde will likely start Monday against the Rockies in Coors Field, and Matthew Liberatore will follow on Tuesday.
Luke Keaschall (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.
Keaschall fractures his right forearm in late April after hitting .368 (7-for-19) with two RBI and five steals in seven games to start his MLB career. The Twins are likely to give Keaschall plenty of time to get his timing back, but with Willi Castro’s name coming up in trade rumors, it’s possible that we could see Keaschall back with the Twins in August.
